I (23M) & my SO (21F) are experiencing the end of the honeymoon phase. How did you manage to stay together after this? Did it ever come back?

We've been together for 1.5 years, and have gradually become what we are right now, starting from friends for 4.5 years ( we were both in a relationship, and were "secretly" hanging out), going all the way to stages of being "crazy in love" sending songs to each other, kissing in the back of my car, being head over heels. We were literally crazy for each other, f***ing like rabbits most of the time.
As we came closer & closer, I suddenly noticed that I started sort of "falling out of love" with her. Meaning that I stopped seeing her with the magic "filter" that I had in my eyes, started getting irritated by minor things, had less sexual desire.
Not because she wan't perfect, but because I started getting used to her. Since we're really communicating, we both recognised and discussed the fact that our relationship is moving onto the next stage, which is that of choice and devotion and not of spontaneous passion & out-of-earth feelings.

TL;DR: I really love her and she's a 100% fit for me, however some nights in my car, as I'm going through OUR songs some of them seem so forgotten, as the crazy feelings I was having for her. And I can't help but feel sad about all of the tremendous feelings I had everywhere inside me, but now have been replaced by a consistent love & appreciation without any excitement . I suppose the same goes for her. And I can't accept it. I can't accept us being this way. How did you cope with that? Did it ever come back for you? What did you do in order to enhance those feelings?
